New York City-based Van Leeuwen Ice Cream will open its first Texas shop in Houstonโs Rice Village next year. The cult-favorite ice cream brand will open its doors at 2565 Amherst St, in Rice Village, sometime in spring 2021. Van Leeuwen offers over 30 dairy and vegan ice cream flavors โmade with only quality ingredients using only simple recipes,โ according to a release. The Rice Village location is set to open with a new flavor created to celebrate Van Leeuwenโs expansion to Texas. With its established ties, walkability, and bustling community, we knew Rice Village was perfect for our first venture into the Lone Star state,โ said CEO and co-founder, Ben Van Leeuwen.
